A horizontally oriented paper folio is inked with rows of dense black script. Three thick red vertical bands divide the page, punctuated by three solid red circles along the center. Small sections of text are highlighted in gold. A dark stain spreads across the top left corner, near a jagged hole that punctures the paper. The composition is defined by these bold red markers and tightly packed characters.
